United States and Canada achieved independence.

I need some examples not links.

Like what does
"Canada prides itself on being like a stew with each ethnic group contributing separate and identifiable cultures. The U.S. likes to consider itself a melting pot where all differences disappear"

Meaning?

Think of the differences between a beef and vegetable stew and a cream soup.

Ask yourself how these ideas are different:
<i>"Canada prides itself on being like a stew with each ethnic group contributing separate and identifiable cultures.

The U.S. likes to consider itself a melting pot where all differences disappear" </i>

Then look up the word "assimilation" and let us know what you think about the two ideas you posted.

Assimilation = the process of taking in and fully understanding information or ideas.

Answered by Reiny
I think if you had an actual question, it would help.

You started by simply making a statement:

United States and Canada achieved independence.

---- yes, they did, what about it?

You then went on about "stew" vs "melting pot".
What does that have to do with gaining independence?
Answered by Random Girl
Is this a good answer?

Ethnic groups are similar because many are of the same ethnicity. According to a teacher/tutor, "Canada prides itself on being like a stew with each ethnic group contributing separate and identifiable cultures. The U.S. likes to consider itself a melting pot where all differences disappear." This means Canada likes to take the pride, and maybe even brag, or show-off, while US, likes to hide the details, and keep quiet.

A quick comparison on gaining independence:
I assume you are American, so you should be familiar with your war of independence or The American Revolutionary War from 1775-1783.

In Canada 1759, the French and the British fought over that area. As a matter of fact, most of the area was called New France. In a decisive battle at the Plains of Abraham in present day Quebec City, the British were victorious and France gave up its territory. Canada gained its independence from Britain in a peaceful and non-violent way.

As to your analysis of the "stew vs melting pot":
You said, "This means Canada likes to take the pride, and maybe even brag, or show-off, while US, likes to hide the details, and keep quiet."

I think you have that backwards.

Cuz in Canada like a salad, the different ethnicities notice their differences but still work together, but in the US everyone sees each other the same and is kind to you no matter your ethnicity.
